Would this laptop work for Sims 4?

Hello! 

I’m currently using my Mac for gaming, but it’s been slowing down my computer & my computer has been overheating. 

here’s some specs:

HP OMEN 17-W053DX Gaming Laptop i7-Quad-Core 1TB 256 SSD 12GB DDR4

12.0GB RAM

64 bit operating system

171 GB free for local storage 

917 GB Free for data storage 

Nvidia Control panel version 430.86

  • @kjewel162  I can't tell you how well the computer would run Sims 4 because I don't know what graphics card it has.  However, it needs to have an Nvidia card if it has the Nvidia Control Panel, and based on the processor model, it's probably a 900M series.  If it has a 950M or 960M, that probably means high graphics settings; a 970M may be able to handle ultra settings.

    If you're considering buying this laptop and are comfortable with the risk, I think it would be a reasonable purchase for around $300-350 USD, maybe more in other countries.  Too much over that, and you might want to look at other options.
